Exposing Safe Messaging Gaps in YouTube's Mental Health Content

This study analyzed how the ten most-viewed YouTube mental health videos portray tone, symptoms, and resources against WHO safe messaging guidelines and Jorm's mental health literacy framework. Findings show that while most content used destigmatizing framing and accurate resourc...

Corrugator activity reflects integrated simulation and multifaceted evaluation when processing affective language: Frowning responses to reading about emotions of morally good and bad characters

Abstract Corrugator supercilii (“frowning muscle”) activity tracks affective valence of linguistic stimuli. According to embodied cognition accounts, this reflects simulation of the emotion at lexical and/or situational levels. Additionally, it may indicate evaluation, i.e., how...

What Every PhD Student Should Know About Adam Smith

Widely known as the father of economics, Adam Smith lived in the eighteenth century. Smith was a polymath, and his magnum opus, The Wealth of Nations , is 250 years old this year. In this article, I suggest the nature of Smith's contribution to economics, moral philosophy, and po...

Ntu Fracture: A Trifocal Intersectionality of Race, Gender, and Relational Theology in the UK African Diasporic Masculinity

African immigrant men in the United Kingdom (UK) experience forms of suffering that transcend both the clinical framework of acculturation stress and the political narrative of racial victimhood. Existing scholarship frequently overlooks how race, religion, and gender historicall...

Strategic Pairingof Organic and Inorganic Componentsfor Self-Assembled Gel Formation: A Nickel(II) Metallogel for SelectiveCysteine Recognition

Abstract The strategic pairing of organic gelation components with inorganic cations or anions for gel fabrication remains a relatively unexplored area of research. In this regard, four Schiff-base–based gelation test molecules GTM1 ((1-phenyl-N-(2-(piperazin-1-yl)ethyl)methanimi...

The Impact of Earthquake-Induced Healthcare Disruption on an Established Developmental Hip Dysplasia Screening Program in an Earthquake Zone

Background/Objectives: Pandemics and natural disasters may delay the diagnosis and treatment of developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH). In this study, we evaluated the effect of 2023 Kahramanmaraş earthquake-induced healthcare disruption on the DDH screening program. Methods: M...

Objective Evidence for Mind–body Interventions: Selective Modulation of Meridian-wise Bioelectrical Conductance by Yogic Practices

Abstract Introduction: Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) describes meridians as channels through which vital energy (Qi) flows, with disturbances in this flow associated with disease. Contemporary research has demonstrated that classical meridian points possess distinctive elect...

Safety and Efficacy of Endovascular Thrombectomy for Acute Ischemic Stroke in the Posterior Circulation in Latin American and the Caribbean Patients: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis

Objective: To evaluate the safety and efficacy of endovascular thrombectomy (EVT) in adults with posterior circulation acute ischemic stroke (PCAIS) in Latin America and the Caribbean (LATAC). Background: While recent studies have shown improved outcomes with EVT in PCAIS, data f...

Between protection and autonomy: a comparative analysis of legal approaches to abortion access for young people

This article analyses national legal frameworks that regulate young people's access to abortion, focusing on how different approaches to decision-making authority can either facilitate or obstruct access to care. It explores how countries that have recently liberalised their abor...

Non-canonical pore architecture underlies constitutive gating of human retinal TRPM1

Transient receptor potential melastatin 1 (TRPM1), a Ca²⁺-permeable nonselective cation channel essential for retinal ON bipolar cell signaling and night vision, and implicated in congenital night blindness, has remained structurally and functionally poorly characterized. Here we...

Atomic-scale engineering of Pt shells on chiral Au nanoparticles for enhanced oxygen reduction

Spin selection in chiral nanocatalysts enabled by the chiral-induced spin polarization (CISS) effect has emerged as a promising strategy for boosting the performance of the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR). However, achieving atomic-scale control of catalytically active surfaces o...

Combined fibre-optic sensing and nodal recorders for active-source seismic characterization of mine tailings

Abstract As the mining industry shifts toward more responsible and lower-impact practices, mine tailings are increasingly regarded as a secondary resource that can be sourced into the raw-material supply chain. However, limited knowledge of subsurface geometry at many historical...

Co-Benefits of Solar PV Expansion and CCUS Deployment for Carbon and Air-Pollutant Reduction in Guangxi’s Power System: A LEAP-Based Scenario Analysis to 2060

Provincial power systems must decarbonize while sustaining rapid demand growth and improving air quality; yet, few integrated assessments separate the contributions of renewable expansion and carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS) for China’s less-developed regions. We a...

FFT-Based Multiscale Frequency Decomposition for Atmospheric Lidar Attenuated Backscatter Profile Forecasting

Atmospheric light detection and ranging (lidar) measurements of the attenuated backscatter coefficient (ABSC) form high-dimensional vertical profiles that vary across multiple temporal scales. Directly processing the original time-domain sequence with a single prediction structur...

Comparative Flammability and SEM–EDS Characterization of Contemporary, Aged and Charred Oak Wood from Historic Timber Structures

Historic timber combines structural function with heritage value, yet its fire behaviour is inferred from contemporary wood data. This study provides an integrated, condition-based assessment of contemporary oak (Quercus robur L.) and historic oak from a nineteenth-century half-t...
